DELIVERY GENERAL TERMS

About these terms

If you have any further questions please visit our home delivery pages for more information.

We sub-contract our Delivery Service to trusted transport service providers, however we’ll always remain responsible for the performance of the Delivery Service.

Online delivery dates
For parcel deliveries you will automatically be allocated the earliest delivery date possible when placing your order. For all other deliveries you will be given the option to select a delivery date when placing your order.

We aim to deliver your online order within 14 days of purchase, depending on stock availability and the delivery address. We will deliver your order within 30 days of the order date unless otherwise agreed between us.

We will try our best to meet the delivery date, however there may be times where we are unable to do this and your confirmed delivery date will be different. We would advise you not to make any plans to accept your delivery, for example booking time off from work, until we have confirmed the date with you. If you will not be available, please request a different delivery date as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours before the planned delivery date by speaking to an IKEA Customer Support Centre co-worker: contact us

Changing the date of delivery
If you would like to change your delivery time or date, please contact the IKEA Customer Support Centre who will advise if this is possible: contact us

Our liability
In the event of any unforeseen circumstances (such as lorry breakdown, traffic accident, major traffic delays or severe weather) we will do our best to contact you to rearrange an alternative delivery timeslot or date. We will not be responsible for any losses (including loss of revenue, profits, anticipated savings, goodwill or business opportunity, or for any injury to your reputation) incurred due to a delay in delivery arising out of any cause beyond our control.

Before the delivery, please ensure that there is sufficient access and space and that any staircases and lifts providing access are suitable for the delivery. Please move fragile objects which could be damaged during the delivery, such as lights, vases, and pictures.

Every effort will be made to deliver the products to your room of choice, provided it is safe and practical to do so. However, if our delivery staff believe it is unsafe to deliver the products to this room, then an alternative room will be agreed with you where possible. If our delivery staff consider that delivery to the room of your choice is likely to cause damage to the products or to the property, they will let you know and record the concern on a delivery document. You can still accept the delivery but we will not be liable for any damage caused to the products or the property. However our delivery staff will take reasonable care when delivering the products.

Our delivery staff are not permitted to and will not: remove doors, windows, doorframes etc in order to complete the delivery. You must arrange this before the delivery takes place. Our delivery staff do not carry any specialised lifting equipment and will not unpack or assemble delivered products or remove any packaging. Our delivery staff will not remove their footwear whilst making deliveries. If you are concerned about possible damage to flooring, please make sure you cover the flooring with protective sheets.

Important information
When you arrange your delivery, we will ask you to provide certain information. This information will be recorded on the delivery document and the delivery will take place at the delivery address you specify. If you provide us with incomplete, incorrect or inaccurate information or instructions, we may cancel the delivery by giving you written notice.

You are responsible for ensuring that you are available to accept delivery. If you are not, there must be an adult available who is capable of receiving delivery on your behalf, and you agree that we can rely on their instructions as if they were your own. Our delivery staff are not permitted to leave any products that have not been signed for.

On delivery, you will be asked to examine the products, check the condition of the packaging and whether the correct number of packages have been delivered and be asked to sign the delivery document confirming this. If there are any issues, you should record this on the delivery document. Missing products will be re-ordered and damaged/incorrect products will be returned and replaced and delivered free of charge. This will not affect your legal right to notify us within a reasonable time at a later date if you find a defect in your products. If you refuse to sign the delivery document, this will be taken as refusal to accept delivery.

Damaged items
If items within packaging are faulty or damaged, please notify the delivery driver who will seek to resolve this. If you notice any damage to items following delivery, please notify the IKEA Customer Support Centre as soon as possible after delivery. Please keep any damaged products so that we can inspect it at a later date. If you dispose of any damaged products before we have had the opportunity to inspect them, then this could affect any claim. We will always attempt to replace any damaged products. However if we are unable to do so we will refund you with the full amount you have paid for the products together with any relevant delivery charges. Nothing in these terms affect your statutory rights.

RETURNS AND CANCELLATION

Returns
You can return new and unused product(s) within 365 days of making your purchase. We will give you a refund by the same method as your original payment for product(s) that are returned with proof of purchase in new and unused condition and, if possible, the packaging. You can return any product, even if you assembled it, as long as it's in re-saleable condition. Unless faulty, we may refuse the return or offer an exchange or gift card only if the returns criteria are not fully met.

We will refund the price you paid for the goods and credit the refund you are due to the credit, debit or gift card that you made payment with. However, please note that we may reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which goes beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
